Deena Estrada, who previously served as chief of staff for Council Member Paige Ellis, has joined the staff of Travis County Judge Andy Brown. Estrada told the Austin Monitor, “I’m serving as (Brown’s) deputy chief of staff for policy – handling policy and coordinating the agenda. It’s been a very fun transition.” Amy Everhart, who has worked for Mayor Steve Adler, former Mayor Lee Leffingwell, Hahn Public Communications, and the Austin Board of Realtors, will be taking over as chief of staff in Ellis’ office today. Everhart also recently worked for Council Member Jimmy Flannigan in his reelection campaign.
Editor’s Note: Andy Brown is on the board of the Capital of Texas Media Foundation, which is the parent nonprofit of the Austin Monitor.
